At the centre of Trentham Gardens is the mile long, Capability Brown designed, Trentham Lake. Take the circular lakeside walk all the way round as it takes you aside the River Trent, by the bird hide, through the cascading weir and along atmospheric woodland trails, featuring vast NEW meadows by Nigel Dunnett and the team who were responsible for the stunning wildflower plantings at the Olympic Park. These celebrate the centenary of Capability Brown with schemes chosen for seasonal interest and environmental suitability.

The show gardens offer further inspiration to gardeners on a more domestic scale.

Find the Fairies at Trentham

Everyone knows that fairies live at the bottom of gardens and Trentham Gardens is no different.

Keep your eyes peeled as you walk around our beautiful mile-long lake, and through the woodland, maze and gardens where the Fairies at Trentham live.

Titania points the way to her 14 fairy friends from the shopping village. Each fairy is different, some are bold and will want to shake your hand, others are shy and are harder to spot high up in the trees. Can you find them all?
